Chocolate. Chocolate. So much chocolate. I was really ready for that tire fire taste but wow what an experience!
21.02.2020 A small private event where we borrowed the basement bar area for a private tasting and also had a go at their food. Notes. Medium dark colour. Nose Wood, roasted, leather, fruits, cherry, tar, light rubber. Palate Oily, balanced, complex, wood, roasted, tar, leather, dried fruit, medium dry, light rubber. Finishvery long, dry, wood, tannins, raisin, light caramel.
Un rhum d’exception, pas le palais habitué à boire du caroni mais dès l’ouverture, une odeur qui vous transporte et qui vous rappelle des longs dimanches d’hiver. Le nez goudronné, pétrole propre à la trinidad et un fort mélange entre le caramel et un poil de vanille. À la bouche le caramel se révèle de façon plus importante entouré d’un gras huileux industriel qu’on utilise pour faire fonctionner des machines des années 20. Un délice et un voyage !
Caroni 2000 US bottling almost freshly opened - a very nice find at Pusser‘s in Munich. Lacking the side-by-side versus the EU edition, from memory this is on par. As for the EU bottling, this is a very nice expression of the 2000 vintage with high intensity, dirt and some dried fruits. Works very well at the reduced ABV imo.
